@thisismetypinganame Blade Runner is only nine years away, and we've barely started exploring the Tannhäuser Gate or the shoulder of Orion. And the current crop of replicants is rubbish too.@Housey Surely Planet of the Apes, although the idea of de-evolution is looking to be very prescient.@newdecade Well 2001 came and went without mankind reaching Jupiter, or ... without any of that ... other ... stuff.@Sokket The eugenics war of 1999 – Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan@c0n0r The three shells of Demolition Man? Although we still have 22 years.@Ragged Ignoring all the mutant/pre-cog stuff, the most unbelievable thing in Minority Report were the vertical motorways that ran, for no reason whatsoever, down the side of skyscrapers.@herebutforfortune Sentient computers like Hal in 2001, whose emotional reaction to being told he was wrong was so human he plotted revenge. My Mac gets passive‑aggressive.@CreepingJesus Fahrenheit 451, where fireman are busy burning books all day – rather than sitting about and playing pool …@philwest Alien. When I showed this to some students recently they were really impressed by it except for the computer Mother. Loads of flashing lights, takes up a whole room, and all the crew type (yes – type) questions on to a monitor that looks like a spectrum.@DJPVC Strange Days. The squid thing you put on your head that allows you to record what you see and feel. Supposed to be in use by New Year's Eve 1999.@DJPVC Sleeper. The orgasmatron.@Gummibarchen The Time Traveller's Wife. People with genetic mutations cannot possibly time-travel, it is a flawed concept. Sorry Audrey Niffenegger, Eric Bana, Rachel McAdams, etc.@HolyhosesRob In Blade Runner, they predicted that Pan Am would still be around in the 21st century.@MawaiTrees Almost every prediction made in Demolition Man, including freezing criminals as opposed to just executing them. Minority Report – getting arrested before you've even committed the crime ... oh hang on …Flash Gordon – men wearing spandex in space.@ochongodeo John Boorman's Zardoz. Daft as a brush.@StephanoBentos Britannia Hospital – there's a gigantic brain in a tank quoting Shakespeare in a monotone. And that's the next step in evolution.@YummieMummie Soylent Green ... chimpanzees will take over the earth and we'll be hunted and captured as slaves. Our world will collide with another and we'll send a spaceship with our greatest minds to colonise this new world which, miraculously, will have live vegetation, atmosphere etc. already on it. That we'll all die at 30 and live in a dome.@charliepiper Barbarella enters a room full of louche women getting high on the "essence of man" which they appear to be inhaling from bongs linked to giant Liebig condensers in which various naked Adonis-types are wallowing in bubbling liquids ...@podwilson I hope The Road got it wrong.@NonOxbridgeColumnist We are, as I write, 13 years and 23 days post Skynet-induced nuclear holocaust. So Terminator 2 was a bit off.@RichAlchemy I love how, in Back to The Future Part II, amid all the hoverboards and time travel and other ludicrously futuristic bits, Marty McFly gets fired via a fax machine.
